Yeah, when he was bouncing up and down, hehehe.
Ooo, I got one. What about Al quotes? What's the funniest Al quote from the show?

Al The Observer said:I've posted this before, in other threads, but my favorite quote will always be "I brake for holograms".
Spoiler Alert! (highlight to read)
In It's a Wonderful Leap, Sam is driving Max's taxi and Angelita is along for the ride. Al pops in right in front of the cab, causing Sam to slam on the brakes. The cab goes through Al, stopping where Al is sticking out of the bonnet/hood of the cab. As Angelita goes nuts ("Ah, Madre de Dios! Why did you do that?"), Al says "Oh, 'I brake for holograms', huh?" Sam shoots him a look and says to Angelita, "Um I was just testing the brakes."
(Context note: For a while in the U.S., [don't know about U.K.] there were bumper stickers all over stating that the driver brakes for whatever he/she brakes for. Some examples include: "I brake for butterflies", "I brake for horses", "I brake for tailgaters", that kind of thing. If I remember correctly, this was about the time when QL was in production, but my memory could be way off. I like Al's phrase, and I'm considering having a bumper sticker made which features his quote. )

O.K. Now you can read it. Just don't highlight it! :lol:
TessCrazy said:funny quote:

The Caz said:I got another one!
The Caz said:
Sam: Don't sneak up on me!
Al: What do you expect a hologram to do?! Knock?!
*Al'sChick* said:Lol! Ive always loved THAT one!
Hm. Let me think of one...
OH! This really got me laughing:
On "A hunting we will go"...
Al: Its the text book example of love and you are in the first stage: denial.
Sam: First stage?
Al: Yes, There are five stages of love. The first is denial, then the second is sex, then there's acceptance, then there's divorce and then there's more sex, if youre lucky.
Lol! I love that!

McDuck said:Okay, it doesn't look like the Al thread is coming back :sniff sniff: so I thought I'd create a placeholder for it.
I don't even remember what aspect of his character we'd been discussing last time, so I'll put this question out there:
What about Al (either as seen in the episodes in action during a Leap or aspects of his backstory as revealed during a Leap) do you find the most poignant?
I'll post later with my response.
The_P_Man said:This is a bit off topic, but since there is already an 'Al' thread, I'd thought I'd post my question. If Al is just an image to Sam when he appears, how come his shadow appears almost in every episode? I mean, if he's not "really" there, then there shouldn't be a shadow, right?

McDuck said:I always figured Al kept a chair in the IC....so why couldn't he have lined it up with the chair he "sat" on???
The Caz said:That's true, but I think back then computers wern't all that so it probs would have been difficult to keep editing stuff out like shadows.
It's when they get it really wrong that annoys me, like in 'Animal Frat' where Al sat on a chair in that meeting place. Why didn't anyone spot that?!
The Caz said:Because he just walks in and sits on it. Plus it is the only time he does it.
The_P_Man said:Also this whole 'imaging' stuff doesn't make sense when it comes to standing or walking... unless the imaging chamber is holding him, shouldn't he just 'fall' through the ground, too?
The_P_Man
The_P_Man said:No, he also sits in 'Freedom' on the ground with Joseph and Sam in the cave.

lol that bit made me giggle al's like "what??", tis funny to see his little head poking up lol.Also, in Permanent Wave, he's in the pharmacy with Sam, and they're looking for evidence. He changes his position so he can go down through the floor and look more closely. Sam gets disconcerted and tells him to stop.
